Silk moth is a (15,11)c/107 spaceship constructed by Nico Brown and finalised on 11 January 2026.[1] It is an oblique spaceship based on a (15,11)c/107 I-heptomino climber. Its name comes from the fact that it resembles a lepidopteran wing. Another proposed name was sea spider.
Underlying Reaction
The underlying reaction consists of an I-heptomino climbing a stream of gliders, emitting two gliders and a block for every one glider it receives.
Like the (34,7)c/156 Herschel climber, this reaction is not completely endemic to life and would theoretically also work for a completion in the rule B3/S234c (Conway++). The reason this ship ultimately fails in this rule is because the east-turning MWSS turner (in a ship travelling NNE) triggers S4c. [2]
